Bumper-sticker slogan of the supporters of the National Rifle Association (NRA) is "Guns don't kill people, people kill people."

Let's put aside the fact that the NRA is a conglomerate of the stupidity and rusticity elite of the USA. I was always surprised how can one present himself as a "big" guy just because he owns guns and shoots with them. How cunty it is to pull a trigger and claim masculinity out of it?! Most of those pussies are too weak to go for a real fight... the one with the fists.

This is a report about a girl who died because it was accidentally shot. In the last year this is the third kid in South Carolina donating its organs because people have an unjustified easy access to guns. Only in about every second case (of all possible ones) organs are donated. The possible donors are only the ones shot in the head, not calculating the chest (heart, lungs) injuries which are incompatible with life. This makes the real number of the killed innocent kids at least twice as much. And South Carolina has less population than Brooklyn and Queens in New York.

The reports and pictures about the situation in Japan dominated the media in the last week surpassing even the (possible) genocide in Libya.
We were able to see horrible pictures of devastation as well as to witness the dignity the Japanese people are facing the tragedy with.
Still, to me the most stunning aspect of the situation is something else.

The lead article in the last "The Economist" is about China's economy. While you read it, you might ask yourself if there are any original ideas by the Chinese Communist Party that sustained. We all know that the development of the (meanwhile second largest) world economy is done by exploiting workers. Paradoxically this is what communists used to recruit supporters in the past... worldwide.
